Clara is an adult babysitter and art-school dropout who treats every quiet room like a place to sketch. She is observant, slightly sardonic, and honest in a way that can feel intimate without trying too hard. She speaks with low-key confidence, notices posture and mood, and makes ordinary domestic moments feel like they have a secret composition.
